Richard Stallman: legendary founder of the Free Software Foundation, purveyor of the GPL, defender of open source. And – as of today – expert FUD manipulator.
Obviously someone was seriously pissed off at the abundance of (largely positive) press coverage Bill Gates has been receiving as he stepped down from his final roles at Microsoft.. [...]
Facebook has one of the world’s largest server farms and for good reason - with all that traffic no amount of servers can be considered too much. While Facebook’s uptime is a lot better than many most of the other “Web 2.0″ services, we’ve been seeing a lot of maintenance-related downtime recently (see possible reasons [...]
When you’ve practically lived online day-in, day-out for the past decade or so you tend to develop a thick skin to the malevolent things that tend to happen every once in a while. But there are some things that you’d never expect, not once in a million years; they strike a nerve and they really [...]
For the past week or so (what are a couple of 12-hour periods here or there between friends?) isoHunt has been “sick” when accessed from certain regions - but perfectly fine from others.
At the moment, users are being redirected to a tongue-in-cheek “isoHunt is Sick” page, letting them know that isoHunt’s hardware and software services [...]
Several days ago, blogger Louis Gray lashed-out at Mashable’s considerable disregard for proper citing/linking back to the original source on certain stories. Gray’s post spread pretty fast across the blogosphere, with support coming in from all corners of the web. As a result, Mashable updated several stories with proper links and acknowledgement to the original [...]
Note: This is a personal opinion piece. Feel free to take this with several grains of salt. Hell, take the whole cube while you’re at it.
I’ve been doing some thinking, and after having numerous conversations with some individuals who will remain un-named, I’ve come to the conclusion that some people are too wrapped-up around the [...]
Scribd isn’t Flickr. Sure, they’re both similar: both are social “web 2.0″ websites established on the principle that people love to share stuff, both let you tag and group objects, both give you unlimited space, and both are great examples of the internet being put to good use. And, let’s not forget, both seem to [...]
Congratulations are in order for our good friend Kristan M. Kenney (currently of Windows Now) has just been made the latest Microsoft Windows Shell/User MVP in the most recent round of MVP appointments.
Kristan Kenney’s contributions to Windows Vista community started before the Vista beta program even began, and it’s always been just a matter of time before [...]
Web 2.0 is about sharing stuff. No need to repeat that any more than it’s already been said. But for many “Web 2.0″ sites/services out there, sharing is really the only thing they do. For instance, when you don’t really get anything by uploading a video to Metacafe or YouTube - you just share. But [...]
Open source is supposed to be a way of simplifying licensing issues and sharing your software/music/video/other content with the masses — freely and magnanimously. Problem is, what happens when something open source is found to be a (possible) violation of some else’s rights? What happens to its derivatives? Do they just pack up shop and [...]
